How is it the celebrities always have long, thick, gorgeous hair? One day their hair is short and poof like magic it’s long and thick. How can someone go from dark hair to platinum blonde that is still long and healthy? Unfortunately there is no magic pill, potion or diet that works. Instead it’s the talent and experience of a hairstylist or to be more accurate an extension specialist.

With social media and reality shows now everyone can see the behind the scenes secrets to celebrities hair tricks. If you are a Real Housewives junky, like our stylists, you have seen the halo toppers used by a Beverly Hills housewife. On New Jersey housewives they are constantly talking about their hair extensions. On Orange County’s reunion Tamara was recorded saying she brought her own extensions. Dove Cameron revealed her platinum blonde extensions on Instagram. Extensions are no longer a secret they are becoming very common.

There are numerous extensions out there which range from hot fusion, sew in and cold fusion. We offer 2 safe versions of the cold fusion extensions. Our extension specialist has chosen not to use hot fusion as the hair cost is much higher, the hair can not be reused and any small amount of heat is not good for the hair. When applying a keratin extensions the stylist uses a heat element to melt the keratin bond bundle around the natural hair. Think of a hot glue gun and how hot the glue can get, that is very similar. Removal can be harsh and in some instances will break the hair.

The gentler and safer cold fusion options offered at Grace Kelly Salon are Tape in an I tip. Tape in extensions are 1” wefts the sandwich around the natural hair. I tip extensions are small bundles that are applied to the natural hair with a small metal bead. Both options can be used for 3 move ups that equals 6 months that the same extensions can be used.
